SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL S . The leading article of the Times of yesterday abounds with false statements and misrepresentations. For one falsehood we prepared our readers on Satur day, when we told them that we had no doubt the Times of Monday would maintain that a passage di :meted against the Lords had formed a part of the intended King's Speech. Accordingly we find that paper yesterday declaring : " We repeat that his Ma yesty did reject from the Speech a passage, such as we have described, directed against the House of Lords." In the Courier, Globe, and Sun of last night appeared the following contradiction of that statement, which, on the best authority, we here repeat :—" We have authority to slate that the above assertion is an entire falseh.oorl. No such passage was proposed to his Majer.ty : no such passage was therefore re jected. Farther, no such passage was for a moment contemplated. It would have been without pre cedent. The Times, in alluding to what fell from Lord Melbourne in a debate in the House of Lords,' has grossly misrepresented hi m . I t says, "I n fact, Lord Melbourne' himself admitted that the vast majority of the intelligence, the wealth, and the pro perty of the country was opposed to the Government ; the people have seen safety, and in the conscious ness of that safety they have proceeded with their cha racteristic energy and activity to the acquisition of the wealth that constitutes prosperity," &c. Lord Mel bonnie never admitted any such thing. What his Lordship admitted was, that it was obvious a majority of the House of Peers was generally opposed to his Government, and that it was probable a majority of the landed. gentry, of the clergy of the Established Church, and of the members of the two Universities •(Oxford and Cambridge), were opposed to his Ad ministration. They have, in truth, not only been op posed to his Administration, but to every Admistration :since the Duke of Wellington quitted office in 1830, ;and the Reform Bill was notoriously carried against 'them. But Lord Melbourne never admitted (for he knew better) that the majority of these classes consti tuted a majority of the wealth and property, still less fig(' the intelligence, of the country. The object of the 7Reform Bill was to enable the great body of owners of property to protect that property from the invasions of particular proprietors. It was because the mass of wealth and property of the country felt that without mach protection the avarice of the borough-holders and 'others who possessed political influence would, in fur-, therance of their sinister interests, place all property in jeopardy, that they extorted from the unwilling Lords the Reform Bill. If we were even to take the :statement in the Edinburgh Review, of which such a - handle has been made by the Tories, that all the gen try of 5001. a year and upwards were Conservatives, we would still ask how small an amount of property is ahat owned by the men of 5001. and upwards com pared with that owned by men with smaller incomes ? But the truth is, that here an important distinction must be made. Of the great landholders of the country the riche s t are Whi gs . W e cou l d name a dozen of Whig Peers whose united incomes exceed those of all the rest of the Lords. The truth is, that people greatly over-estimate the property of the Lords. The single town of Manchester pos sesses three times more property than all the Lords put together. But, if we take the incomes of all the Peers at three millions a year, a large allowance, how much would remain if we deduct the incomes of the Whig Dukes of Bedford, Devonshire, Norfolk, Cleve land, Sutherland, and Leinster, the Marquises of Westminster and Breadalbane, Earls Fitzwilliam and Burlington, and about half a dozen other Whigs ? Throughout the coun t r y, t h e poorer gentry, they who find it difficult to keep their ground, are almost to a man Tories, while the great owners of property, who can live and provide for their families without the aid of the public purse, are often Whigs and Reformers. The Tory Lords are many of them notoriously poor for their station ; and it was the knowledge possessed by the great body of owners of property, that without a Reform Bill these ravenous wolves could not be kept from preying on the public, that induced them to make the exertions which finally extorted that measure from the Peers. It is absurd, therefore, to say that the Tories have a majority of the wealth, property, and intelli gence of the country. The middle and productive classes are generally Liberals, and the Dissenters are liberal to a man. In fact, the Tories are without ex ception what Captain Hall calls the spending class—a crass that in every country evinces a disposition to spend more than its legitimate income, and to balance tile account by do ping into the property of others. The property of the Church (for property with the Tories is synotrymous with religion) is considered by the Tories—to use the language of the Rev. Mr. Boy ton—as the means of providing for their younger children ; and the clergy and Tory aristocracy are, therefore, nearly one and the same. To a poor Lord and a middling Squire, the property is indispensable. In short, every man who does not live by industry, and has more wants than he can honestly gratify without availing himself of the public purse, in the shape of tithes, pensions, salaries at home or in the colonies, &c. &c., is naturally a Tory'. They derive their name from the plundering prop ersities of the founders of their party—for the first Tory was a robber.—Morn ing Ch ro nicle. We are glad to perceive that we did not, in our article of yesterday, over-estimate the importance of plume's meat felicitous exposure of the Lyndhurst sophistry. It is regarded in the same light by the vast population of this great metropolis. We expected that it would; but we confess we were hardly sanguine enough to suppose that the importance we attached to the speech of the Hon. Member for Middlesex could have been equally attached to it by the Tories. Is it so ? It is indeed. They do not, it is true, say as much in so many words, but they more than say it in deeds. Look at their organs of yesterday morning, and their only or;:an of last night. To see them work themselves ieeto a paroxysm of wrath, and to witness their load t i ng the friends of the people, as well as the cause of the people, with the most opprobrious epithets, is assuredly no novel spectacle; but, then they even sur passed themselves in this respect, in the manner in which they yesterday dealt with Mr. Hume and his admirable speech of Saturday. One morning Contem porary wasted a column of unadulterated rancour on the Ron. Member, while the evening organ of the faction could not satisfy itself with spitting less than two mortal columns of its venom at him. This is all as it should be ; it is precisely what we wished to see. We are certain that nothing could be more gratifying to the Hon. Member himself. Had his speech escaped unnoticed, or had it only received a passing word or two of abuse, then we would have reproached ourselves with having in the feeling of the moment exaggerated its importance. We have no su c h apprehensions now; if we have erred at all, it is in having under-estimated the importance of that speech. We thank the Tories for admonishing us of our error; we are sure Mr. Hume will forgive us.—Morning Advertiser. We yesterday, but too late for publication, received by extraordinary express from Paris, news from Spain, which is of the most important and gratifying character. The Constitution of 1812 has been proclaimed at Madrid till the re-assembling of the Cortes. The Na tional Guard has been re-organised ; the decree 'pro claiming Madrid in a state of siege has been revolted ; and what is a subject of as great exultation as all these, the intriguing Ministry of the Queen, who plotted against the rights of the Spanish people, has been dismi sse d, and another appointed in its stead. A list of th e new Ministry will be seen in another part of our paper. M. Calatrava, the President of the Council, and M. Ferrer, the Minister of Finance, are men distinguished for the liberality of their princi ples; of the other Ministers little can be said, as they have not yet been much before the public. It may, owever, be inferred that the sentiments of the head of the Administration will serve as a security for the confirmation, or even extension of the Constitu tion which the Queen has been compelled to accept. Isturiz seemed determined to resist to the last the acceptance of the charter of Spanish lib er t y . On the 13th the Ministry remained permanently sittin g ; the garrison was kept under arms, but confined to bar racks ; and cannon were planted against several point s of the city ; but all these precautions proved insuffi cient to check the ardour of the Liberals of Madrid. The soldiers caught patriotic inspiration from the citi zens, the citizens partook of the heroic ardour of the soldiers, and the opponents of the people's rights had no alternative but to retire, with all the ignominy and none of the advantage of opposition. The Constitu tion has been also proclaimed at Santander and St. Sebastian, arid now that it is accepted by the Queen, we may expect, as a matter of course, that all Spain will at once unite in one grand demonstration in fa vour of national independence. The hopes of the Carlists are completely extinguished by this glorious revolution. Hitherto the Pretender has been enabled to protract the struggle by the distrust felt not only by the people, btlt by the army, towards the Queen's Government. The Regent herself was kept by the Isturiz Ministry in ignorance of the real state of public feeling ; and it is to be hoped that the dan ger from which she has escaped, by a timely ac quiescence, will serve as a warning to all Sovereigns against those factions which are to be found in every state, and from which England is not exempt, who, to accomplish their own selfish designs, would delude the Monarch with the grossest misrepresentations of the popular will, and would seek to raise their own for tunes on the common ruins of both the throne and the people. Providence appears to favour the cause of the Spanish people, for the intelligence of the Queen's recognition of the national liberty is accompanied by that of Gomez being completely routed, with the loss of his artillery and baggage, and that Cabrera had lost 900 men. The Queen's army and the people of Spain having now obtained a common object for which to contend, and being actuated by one and the same sentiment of action, the extermination of the Carlists is inevitable. The provinces of Biscay and Navarre, on which the sole dependance of the Pretender rested, must prefer rather to secure the recognition of their rights by an union with their countrymen, than to adhere to the hopeless cause of Don Carlos, which, if even successful, would leave them at the mercy of an Usurper, and which under present circumstances would only involve them in his ruin. The Basques and Navarrese supported Don Carlos with the same object as the rest of Spain did Isabella—the esta blishment of their own rights. They had no affection for the individual, and therefore no impediment can exist to there being one combination amongst all liberal Spaniards, as the Cortes, if duly elected, will guarantee the rights of all the Spanish people. The refusal of the Spanish army to act against the people engaged in a righteous struggle for their liberties, is a glorious lesson to tyrants. It must teach them how fragile is their dependence, when they rest on the support of domestic soldiers against national feeling. Military men are no longer blind instruments ; they feel, and think, and sympathise with their fellow-subjects, and will not slaughter them at the nod of a despot. If the Spanish soldier refuse to fight against Spanish inde pendence, can a French soldier be expected to imbrue his hands in the slaughter of Liberty in France, and still less can the English soldier be expected to respond to the appeal which the Tories have recently threatened to make when they mooted the question—" are the military to be relied upon ?" The events in Spain will exercise a salutary effect in France and England, and the conduct of the Spanish army is an example which may prove highly beneficial to the regeneration" of the institutions of one country, and the reform of those of the others.—Morning Advertiser. A Ministerial Journal denies that its employers ever had any intention of passing a censure upon the House of Lords through the, medium of the King's Speech ; adding, as a reason, that " the course thus attributed to the advisers of the Crown was at total variance with the practice of Parliament." This is amusing enough ; as if those who have shown so evi dent a disposition to stick at nothing, would suffer any object they had in view to be defeated by any thing so insignificant in their eyes as the practice of Parliament. Why it has not been the practice of Parliament—at least in those periods of its history to which we are wont to resort for precedents—it has not been the practice of Parliament for one House to indulge in railing accusations against the other ; for one House to threaten the independence, nay, the extinction of the other, unless it yields to all the revolutionary schemes and violence of a small faction in the other. Yet we have lived to witness such things ; and we entertain little doubt but that the House of Lords and its recent firm and patriotic conduct would have been assailed from the very lips of the Monarch, were it not that those who had the preparation of the King's Speech, either could not or dared not accomplish such a design. The Prime Minister has told the House of Lords plainly . enough what he thinks of them ; and is it to be supposed that he would have hesitated to put the same sentiments upon record in the' highest and most authentic shape, had he not on this occasio'i found himself powerless for evil ? But we may be permitted to judge of our Contemporary's accuracy as regards Ministers by the veracity with which he speaks oi r their opponents. Unable to stem the overwhelming influence which Lord Lyndhurst's celebrated speech of Thursday is every where effecting, the paper alluded to, in the, very same article, thus characterises its ef fect :—" The Tories (says this veracious oracle) are disgusted beyond measure at the reckless and profligate course pursued by Lord Lyndhurst on Thursday night. The Duke of Wellington lost not a moment in throw ing his Noble and Learned Friend overboard. He re pudiated him as a leader, and we have the best reason for knowing ! [the italics are ours] that Sir Robert Peel and Lord Stanley abruptly left town, merely that they might escape even .the suspicion of being parties to his desperate game." Surely the game must be nearly up with those who can resort to such a mode of play ing it as this.—Morning Herald. The Ministry of Isturiz has fallen ; and one of the disciples of the same school of Spanish crime and Radicalism has usurped his place. Calatrava„ who was proscribed by the Toreno Cabinet and a fugitive from justice last year, with his .former companion Isturiz, when Alcano Galiano was put in prison, has momentary possession of the destinies of the country. The Queen-Regent has been compelled to give up even the semblance of independence. The constitutional faction is for a time triumphant. Let no one imagine that the peace of Madrid is secured by this movement. The hungry emigrants who have alternately set up and deposed Martinez de la Rosa, Toreno, and Men dizabal will grumble over the division of the spoil, and Calatrava will in vain attempt to satisfy their voracious appetites. The term of his political existence is al ready measured. The men whom he has linked with him are without political or moral weight. We believe the new Administration to have been created by Men dizabal, to conceal his own designs, and to compel the Queen to look to him as a resource from their incom petency. Indeed the whole of the late insurrectionary movements in the provinces, and the deposing of the Queen's authority at Madrid, have resulted from the in trigues of that wily broker ; who, conscious of the opprobrium which must fall upon his head if the ex posture which Isturiz was prepared to make of his Ministry before the Cortes took, place, has used this extraordinary mode of covering his own shame and of defeating his opponent. His next step will be to re move the puppets he has now set up, and to place him self at the head of the finances of the country, the dictator of the Queen Regent, and the chief of that faction who in 1823 declared the incompetency of her husband and their King. We are anxious to know what part the British Minister is taking on this occa sion, though we have no reason to doubt but that by the supple conscience of his master, and the latitude of his instructions, he is prepared to abide by what ever colour the affairs of Spain assume. But still we shall be curious to hear if Mr. Villiers will give soft approbation to the establishment of one Chamber ac cording to the Constitution of 1812, when it was well known that it was by .his influence, and that of his Government, that Martinez de la Rosa embodied in the Estatuto Real the House of Proceres, con trary to his prejudices, which ran, like the true " rose-bud," as he was called, of the former Cortes, upon the establishment of one great Cha m b er , i n which were to be united all the talent, virtue, honour, and patriotism of regenerated Spain. We are a l so anxious to learn if Mr. Villiers has sanctionedcmpellttihige military insurrection of La Granja , and the o of the Queen to adopt the Constitution ; or if he has protested, as the chief guarantee of her political exist ence, against the employment of force to overpower the Royal will, and the public debasement of her authority. It is possible, however, that the British name does not rank high at this moment, either near the Queen's person or in her councils, as we observe that the gentry who surrounded her the other day re fused our Minister permission to pass into the Palace, when he attempted, for what purpose is riot yet made known, to make his way to the beleagured Princess. Indeed, amid the anxious thoughts that the present situation of Spain and the dishonour of the English name give rise to, there is something so ludicrous both in the situation of the Queen and the youthful repre sentative of the juvenile Whig at Madrid, that we are more inclined to smile than to be grave. Fortunately for Lord Palmerston the recess will allow him to hide his blushes in Downing -street, while Mr. Villiers may still smile, the Adonis of the Prado, unabashed by the ridicule which is poured out on all sides on his suck hug diplomacy.—Morning Post.

" Hague, 13th August, 1836." A shocki ng case of suicide occurred at Bemerton near thia city, on Thursday. Mr. Targett, an elderly gen tleman, residing there, deliberately kindled a fire in his gar den, and having loaded a gun-barrel, he placed the muzzle to his head, and the other end in the fire ; in the explosion the barrel burst, but a portion of its contents passed through his head, and killed him instantaneously. He had placed a writ ten paper under a brick, stating that he was weary of life, and wished to die as Castlereagh had do ne . W e understand that the deceased was in the habit of distributing, on the first day of each month, half-a-crown to each poor family in the parish. H e was a widower, but has left a family behind him.—Salis bury Herald. In reference to a newly invented hat, manufactured at Greenock, the Advertiser of that place says, " Although it is alleged that a Scottish mist will wet an Englishman to the skin, we could venture to guarantee a dry head to any Cock ney who should ensconce his caput in one of our townsmen's hats, even if he should encounter a shower calculated, as Mansie Waugh has it, "to wash cats fra aff the hew tap." An alarm was spread on Wednesday forenoon of fire having broke out in the Glasgow Herald office. When the fire engines turned out, it was found that the fire was con fined to a garret, immediately over the editor's room, which was occupied as a store for old paper and lumber. The joist lug of the apartment had been kindled for some hours pre vious, it is said, by the flames of a foul chimney belonging to another part of the building. The ftre did not reach the body of the establishment. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. GAMING-HOUSES.—In the case of the King v. Hancock, for a nuisance in keeping a common gaming -house, No. 1 63, Piccadilly, Mr. Heaton obtained leave to respite the recognizance of the prosecutor, who had found, since the true bill was found in the last Sessions, that ] 60, Picca dilly, was situated in the parish of St. George's, Hanover square, and not in that of St. James's, Westminster, as be had erroneously stated it to be. The CHAIRMAN, in granting the respite, expressed his strong desire that the prosecutor would attend, and not de feat the ends of justice. PRISONERS ' COUNSEL BILL.-PRACTICE OF THE COURT. The CHAIRMAN said he should take this opportunity of mentioning to the gentlemen of the Bar that, as the Pri soners' Counsel Bill would not come into operation until the Ist of October next, it had afforded him an opportu nity of consulting its provisions with a view to settling the practice under it in this Court ; or, at all events, of throw ing out some 4uggestions for their future regulation. In the first placle, then, he would propose that an option should be given to the Counsel for the prisoner to address the jury either before or after the calling his witnesses; and in the second place, he would propose that the Counsel for the prosecution should not be restrained from cross examining witnesses to character in cases where the pri soner had the benefit of Counsel. In support of his first proposed regulation, it must be clear that it would be more fair, to the prisoner to give the option to his Counsel of making a Vbech either before or after calling his witnesses, inasmuch as great difficulties often arose from Counsel making statements of facts which were afterwards to be proved, and when the case for the prosecution was minutely opened and commented upon ; and when also witnesses varied from each other, as, from accident or forgetfulness, they might do, without any bad intention. In such cases great advantage would be taken by the prosecution. If the case were not fully opened the effect would be lost, and this was an evil which was greatly felt at nisi Arius. In sup port of the second regulation which he suggested, his object was to give good character its full weight—the better the witnesses the more could they bear being sifted, and by giving Counsel for the prosecution the right to do so, the manufactory of witnesses to character would be got rid of, and a great hindrance to the due attainment of public jus tice would be avoided. This right to sift the evidence to character had always existed, but out of tenderness to pri soners it had not been exercised. There was a third sug gestion, which it occurred to him to throw out ; he alluded to cases where only witnesses to character were called, and whether, in such cases, Counsel for the prosecution should have the right of reply. There would be some difficulty in settling that point, but it was worthy of attentive con sideration. Mr. PRENDERGAST expressed a hope that Counsel for the prosecution would not be permitted to have a reply where only witnesses to character were called for the prisoner. Mr. PAYNE—By an act recently passed I believe that Counsel were deprived of the right of reply in all cases where witnesses to character only were examined, unless, indeed, where there was a previous conviction. The CHAIRMAN—We make it a practice in the Midland Circuit never to open such cases, unless when they involve a complication of extraordinary circumstances. Mr. PAYNE—That is our present practice at the Central Criminal Court. The CHA tamAN—Let it be understood that this Court will not be the first to set the example of taking away the right of the prosecutor's Counsel to reply. Mr. HEATON concurred with the Court in the necessity of exercising caution before laying down any strict regu lations upon the points referred to by the Learned Chair man, and so as country sessions would be very like the more to follow the practice here. The CHAIRMAN—There can be no doubt but that the new Bill will considerably increase our labours here. Mr. PAYNE—That, I believe, is our opinion generally, but this I must say that if Counsel do not speak for their clients in reply they will think that they are sold. A further conversation then ensued between the Learned Chairman and the gentlemen of the bar, as to the other regulations which the new Bill might probably render ne cessary to carry out the intentions of the Legislature for the further protection of accused parties. The Bar having concurred in the propriety of the regu lations suggested by the Learned Chairman, the conversa tion dropped. John Sullivan, an athletic-looking young man, was found guilty of an aggravated assault upon the police officers at Temple Gardens, near the river Lea, on the lOth of July last, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. Just before the adjournment of the Court, the grand jury ►eturned true bills against John M'Gowan, of 61, Pic cadilly, against James Gray. James Ashdown, William Cannon, Goodey Levi, and Walter Dowley, of the same place, for a nuisance in keeping a common gaming-house. Also against George Desboro and others, of 5, Park-place, King-street, St. James's ; and also against James Russell and John Woolrey, of Park-place, for a like offence. The Court then adjourned at five o'clock, having pre viously cleared the calendar of all the cases, none of which possess any feature of public importance. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Alexander Fradgley, who was a clerk at Currie's bank ing.house, absconded on the 17th of July last, taking with him, as the firm conjecture, a considerable sum of money, and several of the books. His object in removing the books was to prevent, in the event of his apprehension, the proba b;lity of proving that he had stolen the cash. Immediately after the disappearance, Daniel Forrester, the officer, was sent to France, to strip him of the stolen property. For rester persevered in the search, and succeeded in appre hending Fradgley, but the French authorities refused, as has been always the case in felonious transactions, to allow the delinquent to be carried out of the kingdom vi et armis. If Fradgley took much money with him he must have se creted it, for upon ripping up all his clothes and packages Forrester found no cash nor account books ; but it is satis factory to know that Fradgley will be tried in a few days for travelling with a false passport, and no doubt will be imprisoned for having so done for the term of six months. Very great consternation has been occasioned in the City by the numerous heavy robberies which have been commit ted of late, and it is the determination of the City Police, whenever they can lay their hands upon a thief who may escape to the Continent or to America, to take 'every shil ling out of his possession by force. - Mary Donovan, an aged Irishwoman, was brought be fore Alderman VENABLES, charged under the following circumstances : On Saturday evening, for the purpose of exciting com miseration, she walked into Billingsgate-dock, to make people suppose that she intended to drown herself. The Dock happened to have very little water in it, and she stuck in the mud, and began to roar out to the people to let her out of so disagreeable a situation. Upon being pulled out she was covered with an old blanket, her clothes being all wet and filthy, and upon being asked where she lived, she stated that he lodging was at a distance of about five miles. A cab having been provided for her, she pro cured a cigar, lighted it, and smoked very comfortably as she drove along. As soon as she got from town about half a dozen of miles, she told the cabman that he had better drive back, as she then recollected that she had left the lodging for some time. The cabman accordingly drove back to Billingsgate, and having smoked the cigar and a couple of pipes of tobacco, from Billingsgate she was sent to the Compter. The ALDERMAN asked her what account she could give of herself ?—The old woman said that she came from Cork, and supported herself by selling fish, but having no money, she thought she'd walk into the Dock, to see how she should like to be drowned, as she fancied it was an easier death than starvation, but she didn't think much of either, and would wait God's time. The ALDERMAN asked her if she wished to return to Ire land ?—She replied that she had no relatives in Ireland, and was by this time wholly forgotten, for it was quite won derful how poverty played old Nick with the memory of people's nuld acquaintance. The ALDERMAN—You have needlessly been the cause of expense and told a falsehood, and you are aware that you have been doing very wrong. The old woman—Please your H o nour I never had so pleasant a ride in my life, and I enjoyed my pipe too. The ALDERMAN said it would be no injury to the poor woman to give her a lodging in the Compter until the Lord Mayor should decide what to do for her. Mr. HOBLER said that the hard hearts of the parish offi cers having been made more hard by the power which the poor laws gave them to refuse assistance to the poor wretched creatures like the old woman, there was no use in applying to such authorities ; and the Lord Mayor had several pensioners, who, but for humanity, would die in the streets. The old woman was sent back to the Compter for a few days. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Robert M‘Gee, a young man of rather for bidding aspect, was charged with stealing a cheque for 1001., the property of Mr. Barron, the well-known builder, of No. 45, St. Martin's-lane. The prisoner was brought up in the custody of a city police constable named Clapham, No. 82, who deserves considerable credit for the manner in which he contrived the apprehension of the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was a clerk in the employ ment of Mr. Barron, and on last Saturday week, Mr. Vine, a clerk in the same establishment, gave him a cheque upon Sir John Claude Scott and Co., bankers, Cavendish square, for 1001., directing him to go immediately and pro cure the cash in order to pay the workmen. The prisoner in whom great confidence was placed, left the office with the cheque, but did not return. Information was given to the different police-offices, and Clapham having acquainted himself well with the description of the offender, watched the steam-packets going off from the wharfs near London bridge, and yesterday morning he took him on board the Princess Victoria steam-packet bound to Ramsgate. The officer found sixty-three sovereigns aad a half, and some silver, on his person, which he at once admitted formed part of the proceeds of the cheque, and said he had " mud dled" away the remainder with some women. He was remanded till Thursday. LAMBETH_ STREET. Yesterday James Whitworth, a middle-aged man, of respectable appearance, was charged before Mr. HAtin wicH and a county Magistrate with violently assaulting Charles Gregory, a journeyman painter, under the follow ing somewhat singular circumstances : The complainant, a very tall and singular-looking per sonage, who bore on his countenance evident marks of se vere punishment, stated that, nine months ago, the defen dant seduced and carried away his wife, as well as a great portion of his household property, and he had not since, until Saturday last, been able to trace out the place of their retreat. Immediately on the elopement of his wife, he made application at Worship-street Office on the sub ject, when Mr. Broughton, the Magistrate, told him that he would be quite justified in taking away his goods wher ever he found them. Acting on this advice, he, on Satur day evening, entered the house of the defendant, where he found his own wife, and commenced to remove his property. While doing so, the defendant came home, and beat him in the most unmerciful manner, and, what was worse than all, his (complainant's) wife encouraged him (defendant) during the affray, and said she hoped he would give him a sound thrashing. MAGISTRATE—Are you a cripple, or is there any thing the matter with you ? Complainant—Yes, Sir ; from the effects of my trade as a painter, I have partially lost the use of my hands ; but I was well able to procure my livelihood ; but my wife having left me, and gone away with this her vile seducer, has quite upset me, so that I scarcely know what I do. MAGISTRATE—If you could prove that the prisoner had removed himself any portion of the property, he can be pro secuted for the felony. Complainant—l cannot swear myself that he did. Police-constable Homewood, 173 K, deposed that on Saturday night he was sent for to the house of the defen dant, but the affray, on his arrival, was over, and the parties gave cross charges of each other. Not seeing any blows struck, he was first at a loss how to act ; but finding that the complainant Gregory bore marks of severe injury, and was moreover bleeding profusely, and his person covered with blood, he felt it to be his duty to take the defendant into custody. Mr. HARDWICK (to the defendant)—What have you to say to this charge of seducing this man's wife, taking away his goods, as he states, and violently assaulting him ? De fendant—My good man, it is not so. He knew where I was to be found, and had his legal remedy without breaking into my place and destroying my things. MAGISTRATE—Your moe of addressing the Bench is exceedingly familiar, and I must say not very respectful ; but I, for my part, have no objection to it. Do you deny having seduced the wife of the complainant, and living with her at the present time ? Defendant—l don't know that she is his wife, but, if so, he had his legal remedy against me, without coming to my place, cutting up some valuable paintings, and destroying my property. Besides, he knew where to find me from the first time of our going away together. Complainant—You know she is my wife, as this will prove (handing a certificate of his marriage to the bench) and that we were happy and comfortable until the evil day of your first coming to our house. Mr. HARDWICK observed that though the complainant had not acted strictly proper in going to the house as he had done, and, as he admitted, destroying some portion of the property, still some a ll owa nce must be made for his feelings, under the circumstances, while nothing could jus tify the defendant in using the extraordinary violence which it was proved he had. For this violence he should adjudge him to pay a penalty of 10/., or in default to be committed to the House of Correction for one month. The defendant at once paid the money, and was dis. charged. MARYLEBOIVE. SUPPOSED ROBBERY.—Yesterday a shabby-looking man named Henry Solomons, alias Henry Palmer, by trade a journeyman baker, was placed at the bar before Mr. RAW LINSON, charged with having been found drunk, with nearly 801. in his possession, supposed to be the fruits of plunder. Police Constable 100 D, stated, that being on duty about twelve o'clock on Sunday night, in Marylebone-lane, he saw the prisoner so drunk that he was scarcely able to stand, and took him to the station-house for protection. On searching him there, he pulled a bag from one of his pockets which contained seventy sovereigns, and 8/. Is. in silver. The prisoner, on being questioned as to the property, said it was his own, and that he was about to go to America with it. The money was here produced. In answer to a question from Mr. RAWLINSON, the pri soner said that he had earned the money in the service of the Queen of Portugal, and had been i❑ the habit of carry ing it about with him for years, in a belt round his body. He had lived in the service of Mr. Bennett, baker, of Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road, who, if sent for, would give him a good character for honesty. A message having been sent for Mr. Bennett, he shortly arrived ; but instead of saying anything in favour of the prisoner, he said that he had quitted his service about six weeks ago in a clandestine manner, and he had since found out that he had received several little bills from different customers, which lie had not accounted for. Mr. Bennett said that though he did not believe the money found in the prisoner's possession belonged to him, yet he thought it must have been stolen from somebody else. Of this he was con fident, that the prisoner had no such sum about him while in his employ. Mr. RAWLINSON told the prisoner that the circumstances under which he was found were so suspicious that he could not think of parting with him till he had made inquiry about the money ; and he was accordingly remanded until Wednesday. UNION-HALL. Yesterday, Maria Harvey was brought before Mr. TRAILL, charged with obtaining money from Samuel Dawes under false pretences. The circumstances under which the prisoner contrived to dupe the complainant are of a very singular description. About a fortnight ago the complainant, who is an en gineer, received a note through the hands of a young man named Hughes, purporting to have been written by his (complainant's) mother, and informing him that she was then an inmate of a prison. The complainant's father was in the army, and had separated from his wife when the former was a child, so that the son had no recollection what ever of his mother, and on receipt of the note alluded to, and which was couched in language of the most affectionate kind, he immediately concluded that the epistle must be that of his parent. He at once wrote a letter off to the gaol where his supposed mother was confined, expressive of his heartfelt gratification on the receipt of her note acquainting him that his long-lost mother was still in existence, and offering to render her all the assistance that a devotod son could do to extricate a parent from her present difficulties. As she had expressed a wish in her note that her" dear son" would not as yet communicate to his father anything re lating to what had occurred, the young man kept everything a profound secret—and on the following day went off to Tothill-fields Prison, where he had an interview with the prisoner. She received him apparently with the most un bounded joy — ca ll e d hi m h er d earest c hild— s p o k e o f th e time that he was born on the rock of Gibraltar, and her se paration soon afterwards from his father, and expressed the delight that she then felt, and to which she had been so many years a stranger, on beholding him by her side. The young man was equally overjoyed to see a mother whom he had been led to suppose was either dead or had re moved to some far distant country, having on his part also expressed the happiness he experienced on seeing her, then proffered his exertions in extricating her from her present situati on , an d i n quired the nature of the o ff ence which had consigned her to a gaol. She told him that she had latterly been in great distress ; and having been compelled to make way with some articles from a ready furnished apartment, which she occupied to get bread, she was afterwards taken in custody and comm itt e d t o th a t gaol for illegally pawning, and that she was to be tried at the ensuing Westminster Sessions. She proceeded to re late that there were many mitigating circumstances in her case, and that if an experienced Counsel were employed to defend her, she had no doubt a verdict of acquittal would be pronounced, which would release her from the horrors of a gaol, and once more restore her to the comforts of a home with her child. The young man having reiterated that he would make every sacrifice to obtain her liberty, then inquired who he should employ to manage her de fence, when she named either Mr. Phillips or Mr. Clark son ; but desired that he would first proceed to Mr. Flower, the Solicitor, of Hatton- gar d en , an d a rrange with him about preparing the brief for Counsel ; adding, that whatever fee was paid, she sho u ld repay h er son ag ain. Having expressed his determination to do all that lay in his power to get her out of her present situation, he then went off to Hatton garden, and had two or three interviews subsequently with Plc. Flower, and ultimately paid that gentleman the sum of 5/., the receipt for which he produced to the Magistrate, for undertaking his supposed mo ther's defence. All w as th en arranged for the forthcoming Sessions, and Dawes attended in Court, and during the trial of . his supposed p aren t exhi bited all the anxiety of mind which such a proceeding wa s calculated to produce ; and at its termination a verdict of - acquittal having been pronounced, he could scarcely restra.'l; 1 his joy when the accused was discharged from the ba r, enc. permitted to join him. They then left the Court immediately, and walked into the Kent-road, where Dawes lived ; pre viously, however, to which, the young man' procured soil decent clothing for her, she being destitute of apParel ; an in passing the Green Man-gate together, who s•bould the): meet plump but the young man's father. The latter vya astounded on seeing his son and an elderly female Van da l inquire r arm-in-arm together, and having gone up to them, who she was ; upon which the son, indignant that his fad° should pretend not to know his own wife, observed that hi! must be well aware who she was, and that she was his mother. The father, however, immediately said that the woman was not his wife, and that if she told his son s° , she had told a most egregious falsehood ; the young 08 3 immediately dropped the arm of his supposed parent, an ? , exclaimed, " What ! are you not my mother after all The father :—" No, she is not your mother, and if she attempted to make you believe that she was, she is a gos s imposter. My dear boy, your mother, I have every reason to believe, has been dead many years." , The young almost petrified with astonishment, addressing his supPes e , parent, who by this time betrayed so much confusion thal she was ready to fall to the ground, again invoked her t° say whether she really was or was not his mother, as fr' rl d ' the unfortun a te diff erences w hi c h h a d f o rmerly exil e between his parents, the father might not be disposed ti acknowled ge h er . Th e p re t en d e d mo th er , however, it length admitted that she was not the complainant's parent' begged forgiveness for the attempt to practice such an it" position, addi ng , th a t th e a d verse c i rcums t a nces were t e cause of her having assu me d a ch arac t er to which she ha no right. The ),oung man, annoyed beyond measure that such a gross decepti on s h ou ld h ave b een practised 111)° n him, immediately ca ll e d a p o li ceman an d gave the priso ner into custody for obtaining the money, which it be re• collected he paid for her defence, under false r,vresenta tions. Mr. TRAILL, upon being made acquainted with the cumstances of the case, said that it was a very ext.no r , nary one, and inquired w h e th er th e com pl a i na nt's fat' e had formerly kn own th e p r i soner , as s h e see med to " t aware that he had bee n i n th e arm y, an d th a t he wa sB Gibraltar. The complainant said that it was true his father had bead in the army, and that he was at one period stationed wi t ! his regiment at Gibraltar, but he (complainant) was aware whether he was acquainted with the prisoner. The father being in attendance, he was questioned by TRAILL, and, in re ply, sa id t h at h e h a d b ee n a ser geant-major in the 37th Regiment, that his son was born at Gibraltar, and that soon after his birth, nineteen Ye a s ago, his mother left the r oc k, an d re t urne d t o Engla ll , i He (the father) remained with th e reg i men t u p the ge u ,i ^. terranean until about eleven ye ars ago , w h en h e return e 7 and on his arrival ascertained that his wife had been de g for some years previously. Mr. TRAILL—Does the prisoner bear any resemblaile to your late wife ? Dawes—Not the l eas t i n the vor it ` my wife was a different looking woman altogether. Mr. TRAILL—Have you seen the prisoner before Yn i t : met her with your son in the Kent-road, when she nia him believe that she was his mother ? Dawes, in rep l y ; said that he re co ll ec t e d having s een h er i n Gib ra ltar at t " - time that he was there with his regiment. He also e i f' . plained that th e mother of the youn g man (H ug hes), wfa was the bearer of the note to his son f ro m his supPe s. 4 mother, was at Gibraltar, at the time that he was there, ° o that she (Mrs. Hughes) having seen his wife muut ha been aware that the prisoner was not what she represeo te % In reply to Mr. TRAILL, the young man Dawes l e that the pri soner did not as k hi m to a d vance an y sr el he sum of money to fee Counsel ; her request being, whet/ he went to gaol to see her, to employ Counsel, and that 5 would repay him. The Magistrate said that it was very extraordinary th a ,., Mrs. Hughs should not have undeceived the young I n with respect to the prisoner being his mother, as it now nr o peared that that wo man h a d seen hi m su b sequen tly to t' interview with the prisoner in gaol. Mr. TRAILL then asked the prisoner what she had t: say in answer to the charge.—She at first said that O s had no defence to make, but afterwards she went into s , long history of her family, saying that her father held t high Government situation at Gibraltar at the time tha d the 37th regiment was doing duty there, and that she , i ., 1 1 3 8 0 now two brothers commissioned officers in the army. . 1 she had experienced many misfortunes, and amon gst rest, was shipwrecked off the coast of Scotland. 111 , 11 „, she contrived to make her way to London, where she came embarrassed, and that she unfortunately got ine s/. cerated in gaol. Mr. TRAILL—But what have you to say in an swer t° the charge of endeavou r i ng t o pract i se suc h an impositiolia on this young man as to say that you were his mother, a n r under this fictiti ous c h arac t er induce him to fee Couns el f 0 .,, your defence on a cr i m i na l charge ?—Prisoner—l kne w his father at Gib ra lt ar ; h e was th occasion of many et . misfortunes. mY The complainant's father here stepped forward, and d e :, nied the imputation ; saying that she had no claim vi ba ever upon him. b ° I Prisoner—" God tempers the w i n d t o th e s horn =a nil hope one d a y t o b e ena bl e d to s h ow my i nnoce nce to t b° world. the Mr. TRAILL—But w h y represent yourse lf to be, u id mother of thi s y oung man ?
